Texbard Fanfic: March The 16th This story begins on March 16th, the day after the 4th season cliffhanger “The Ides of March.” I can hardly wait to see how they resolve it, and it is definitely one of my favorites. So, I’ve used my imagination a little and this is how I’d like to see it go . . .

Leave your birthday wishes for Lucy before the thread is closed on Sunday, April 8th. PLEASE NOTE: If you currently are not a TX member, you must first register as a TX member before posting your message.

For those on Facebook, it seems FB has figured out that I own AUSXIP – they had a generic page for AUSXIP because some people mentioned the site in their posts. Well they have given me control over the page (very nice of them). If you want to pop over and have a look, like or fave or whatever the thumbs up button is now, https://facebook.com/ausxip

I will not be using the ausxip facebook as a substitute for the AUSXIP Mothership. It’s more for images and quick snippets of info.

For those on Twitter: AUSXIP has been part of Twitter now since 2009 and since then its kind of spawned a few extra accounts to cater for Renee, Lucy, Adrienne news + I have my own twitter account. The main AUSXIP account was for pretty much everything that AUSXIP covered. What was missing was a dedicated Xena account. That has now been fixed. I did have a AUSXIP Xena 2 account which was slated for the Xena Reboot. Since that got the boot, I thought it was a good time to use it for the original and the best.

I’ve been working on a section of the site for quite some time and I just couldn’t get the design or the concept to just click. Well I got inspired over the weekend and it all came together. After a few name changes and tweaks, the AUSXIP Girl Power subsite was (re)born. It brings together tiny mini subsites such as books, movies, tv and web with strong female characters. You can submit items for inclusion and we will have a look, see if they meet our guidelines that it does indeed have strong female characters (no wishy washy stuff here – think Xena, Wonder Woman, Supergirl etc etc). It will have news that is not picked up on our dedicated sites for Xena, Supergirl, Rizzoli & Isles and Spartacus. The site is only for books, movies, tv and web shows and doesn’t include actors / actresses (see our dedicated sites for the actors/writers/producers).

PLEASE NOTE: This does NOT mean we are stopping updating our current live dedicated sites such Xena and Supergirl OR any of our actor individual sites. We are just branching out and bringing together articles we think will inspire you.

TV Zone #93 – August 1997 Warrior Princess Xena. XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS is a rarity in genre television. With tongue stuck firmly in cheek it stands alongside brother series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys as an antidote to the conspiracies and doom-laden ongoing plots that seem to be afflicting just about every other show currently on air.

Please note: There is a discussion on Xena FanFic Chat on FB where Vivian Darkbloom has posted the following and asking if REBECCA HALL has passed away:

Hi all, I have a question concerning a fic writer from long ago: is Rebecca Hall (“Wildfire” “Heaven Down Here”) still alive? I thought I’d heard a while back that she had passed away. The reason I ask is that I think someone other than her has posted her stories to Archive of Our Own (she is sort of credited but I am seriously side-eyeing this)

From Steven Sears: As someone who has worked in TV/Film for over thirty years, and being told continually by marketing that minority-led and women-led films can’t succeed, I’m loving the Blank Panther success and Wonder Woman before it. LINK

On a sadder note…We lost our Ares, the amazing Kevin Smith 16 years ago today.

The Xenaverse cried together as one collective being when Kevin died in an accident in China in 2002. We rallied round his family and supported them in various ways. One of the things this fandom excels in is love. Love for our fellow fans and love for our Xena cast and crew.

I actually had to look that up because I had no clue what #GalentinesDay was. Galentines Day is February 13th, the other half of valentine’s day, when you celebrate your love for your lady friends! This was started by Amy Poehler’s Parks & Recreation character Leslie Knope. I don’t watch the show so I had no clue. Fascinating!

Since we happen to have two of our favourite lady friends in Xena and Gabrielle
